According to a class action lawsuit, plus-size clothing retailer Torrid allegedly ran deceptive discount ads on its website.
Consumers who took legal action said they would not have purchased products from Torrid if they knew the company did not offer the advertised discounts.
Torrid denied wrongdoing but agreed to pay $10million in both cash and credit to resolve the settlement, but time is running out to claim the payments.
Under the terms of the lawsuit, eligible plaintiffs can receive up to $15 from the company’s cash fund.
Eligible class members can also choose to get a $15 store voucher instead.
Store vouchers will be sent via email and can be used during a single order on Torrid.com or at one of their stores.
To receive a settlement payment, class members must submit a valid claim form by August 26.
The final approval hearing for the class action settlement is scheduled for September 19, according to Top Class Actions.
Only those customers who reside in the states of Oregon, California or Washington and purchased products on Torrid.com from January 1 2020, to February 18 2025, are eligible to claim the money.
No proof of purchase is required, and customers can file a claim here.
What’s a class-action settlement?
CLASS action lawsuits offer groups of people, or ‘classes,’ a way to band together in court.
These suits are often brought by one or a few people who allege a company or other entity has wronged a large group of people.
When a suit becomes a class action, it extends to all “class members,” or people who may have similar complaints to those who filed the suit.
Companies often settle class actions – offering payment to class members who typically waive their right to pursue further legal action by accepting money.
These payout agreements frequently include statements by the defendant denying wrongdoing. Companies tend to settle class actions to avoid the costs of further litigation.
Pollution, discrimination, or false advertising are a few examples of what can land a class action on a company’s doorstep.
